The project aims to spread the correct knowledge of the dog world, from how to approach to recognize its signals.
Specifically, the project focuses on the breed of the Siberian Husky, the sled dog. It will tell of their companies that in history have been, in many cases, fundamental for the survival of the people of the Great North, of the acknowledgments obtained, of the "desire to run", unique characteristic of the Nordic races.
An unusual world often judged without having the knowledge. It is in fact important for us to spread this discipline correctly starting from the most fundamental of the notions: respect for animals!
Our proposal therefore consists of a "ludic - didactic" part lasting about two hours where the children are "in class with Balto", both at the Pragelato headquarters and at the Sestriere winter office.
It is possible to extend the offer during the May-October periods with mini-excursions in Dog Kart for the youngest ones (6 - 12 years) or with an initiation to the Dog Trekking (from 12 years). During the winter season, it is possible to try the sled excursion lasting about one hour including briefing. This activity involves the division into small groups (from 8 years).
